What to track as "water"
I've just started tracking my diet and exercise with MFP today. What should I track as "water"? Any fluid? I've just had a carbonated drink (I know, I know - it's day 1!). Obviously this is mostly water. What about a cup of tea? (Again, ignoring whether I should be drinking it at all!)

Is it really bad to work out every day?
I wouldn't mind working out every morning or every night, even if I cut down my work out to 30 mins, though I'd prefer a full hour. My partner tells me that's not healthy and I need to rest as I am anaemic and I get sore and bruisy easily. Is this really true or does t not really matter if you don't rest every second day?

Is being competitive counter productive?
I'm competitive... There is no way around the fact. A very short list of examples... - if, I'm taking a "casual" walk somewhere and somebody is in front of me, I have to get in front of them. - I hate losing. (I've learned to accept this more lately but it could still consume me if I let it). So here is why I'm asking. If…
